Once you're in Austin:
It's very easy to travel around Austin on the Cap Metro bus system. The 1L/1M bus route runs north-south through Austin and makes stops approximately every two blocks. This is the most convenient method for traveling from the university area to the shops, restaurants, music venues, and bars downtown. The Dillos (red, blue, orange, gold, silver) are free busses that run from campus to downtown, but they stop less frequently. Most city busses stop running at around 11:00pm.
